Good morning. This is a portrait taken for the girl's school yearbook. C&C greatly appreciated as this is new for me. Thanks.

    Lighting looks good, colors are good, just a little hot spot on her nose. It's just not quite as sharp as it could have been.
    Over all, it's a nice shot.

    Thanks Jeff. I'll work on the sharpness next time for sure.

    How's this?

    By the way, done with window light (camera left) and white reflector (camera right) held by a voice-activated reflector stand - a.k.a. the girl's mother.

    Nice job on this
    A tad overdone with the smoothing on her face but otherwise not much to nit pik...

    I think the lighting is great. Loved the voice automated light stand. I was going to buy one of those. I do agree that the girl's face is too processed. I think you might want to ease up a bit on the softening.

    I would turn her a little so as not to shoot into her shoulder as much. I would have faced her in the opposite direciton to show the tassle as it at times has a year of graduation on it. Very nice lighting and processing.
